Inspirational

In times of need I ran to her

Never believing she would not be there

She held me closely and soothed my fears

Prayed for my safety and wiped dry my tears

Inspired me to be a better person

Reach for the stars, but keep your feet on the ground

Attitude is everything, so stay positive

Take your time and do things right the first time

Inside you is a little voice, listen to your heart

Only those who make an effort, will succeed

Now I hear her talking though she is no longer here

Away to Heaven she has flown, taking a part of me with her

Love her with all my heart and soul, miss her everyday
